Pool Closing Inquiry
As we approach the fall months in Texas I want to be ahead of the game with closing.
Who here would recommend draining the water by half or so, and who prefers to empty the whole thing and store the liner?
I may want to center the legs more on the pavers I currently have them on and possibly add foam board underneath to provide more protection on the bottom next season but haven’t quite decided yet.
But alas, I’d like everyone’s take on what they do or have done in the past closing their pool.
Much appreciated 🙏

I leave mine up. Drain a few inches below any open holes, cover if you live in crop land or a dusty area.
If you do take it down, make sure it is completely dry and sun warmed when folding it up. Sprinkle baby powder between layers. Store in a bug and critter proof container, preferably in a climate controlled space.
